Nobody was keeping score but the first match was lost something like 4 tries to 1, in itself quite an achievement as we had possibly 7 regulars away. The people who came in really stood up to the mark and hopefully benefitted from playing in such a competitive game. The likes of Jonny Williams, William Turner, Jack Clark, Toby Brown all stepped up to the plate, but two standout performances from Jack Busby relishing his new found freedom in the back row and Matthew Stockton who was playing his first proper game at prop and deservedly won Havants’ man of the match trophy. But Matthew it is not good form to point out that the trophy is out of date, (he must be awful to go supermarket shopping with).

The next game was against there B team which was duly won 15-12 even though the team was visibly tiring and had one of their star players forcibly removed for a while.

Well done to everyone who turned up and those that didn’t certainly missed out.
